[pdp-discuss] oldlba, 3.1 and libraries

[Randall C. O'Reilly]

I think you'd probably have to recompile.  Various changes would have to be 
made to get it to work with more recent g++ and libs.. What exactly doesn't 
work with oldlba++ for you??  I have used that to teach with and not 
encountered any problems (that I can remember at least.. :)
